Every roof replacement project is unique, especially in terms of the price tag. A variety of factors may arise unexpectedly before or during the process that may impact the final cost of your project. Next Level Roofers, your trusted residential roofing services provider, shares some of them here:
Roofing Non-Compliance
Local building codes are in place to ensure that every structure meets safety standards. If you’re about to replace an old roof, be sure to check if it’s up to code. This can be done during the pre-replacement inspection. If it’s already a few decades old, the standards may most likely have changed since then. Your hired roofer usually takes care of the process of bringing it up to code, which means having to add extra to your budget.
Inner Structural Deterioration
As your hired sloped and flat roof contractors tear off the old materials, they may find signs of deterioration and decay. This is usually indicative of a hidden leak somewhere within the inner structure. However, it may also be caused by other factors such as pest infestation, mold, mildew, and so on. Either way, they must be resolved properly, or else they can cause further damage to the rafters, trusses, and other structural components.
Rotten Plywood and Decking
Sometimes, leaks and gradual weather deterioration can cause damage to some of your roof’s wooden components. Plywood and decking are often the first layers to get affected by rot, and they shouldn’t be kept intact because the damage can affect the newer materials and void the manufacturer’s warranty. It may add up to your roofing budget, but it’s better, in the long run, to replace the rotten components before proceeding with the installation.
